the sum of two positive integers is 43. when the smaller integer is subtracted from twice the larger the result is 35

The sum of two positive integers is 35. When the smaller integer is subtracted from twice the larger, the result is 34. Find the two integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two positive integers is 35. When the smaller integer is subtracted from twice the larger, the result is 34. Find the two integers.

Let's call the larger number X

Let's call the smaller number Y

                                                                     X + Y  =  35

                                                                   2X – Y  =  34

Add the two equations                                       3X  =  69

Divide both sides by 3                                         X  =  23   the larger number    

Plug 23 in place of X in the first equation      23 + Y  =  35

Subtract 23 from both sides                                  Y  =  35 – 23

                                                                             Y  =  12   the smaller number

96 39 cause 135 -96=39 im smart (i used a calculater)

the functions have the same rate of change i think. i narrowed it down to this answer and "the rate of change of tour 1 is greater" but i got it wrong using that answer so im assuming its the answer above. (this is a question i also answered from the iready site if anyone needs a reference)
